Overview
A few years ago we heard about [Charles Wang] buying up the properties and heard different things about his intentions for Oyster Bay. To this day, the only things I can see happening are high cost of living and congestion. Abraham Poznanski has said, \"We would like to get as much housing into the downtown area as possible.\" He seems to think that this would pump money into the local economy. But I wonder if Poznanski ever rode through the streets of Oyster Bay and saw the dozens of houses for sale and the vacant store buildings. We need to get more businesses into town that people want and need. You can only go to so many delis and nail salons. Unfortunately, the current U.S. policy on global warming is one of indifference at a time when our country's production of greenhouse-gas pollution from burning oil, coal and gasoline is increasing. But in coming weeks, U.S. senators will have a chance to vote for decisive action on global warming in the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act. Last October, the reasonable and responsible measure secured 43 votes in the Senate, surprising the pundits and building momentum for the upcoming vote on global warming. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Long Island Bus, Metro-North Commuter Railroad, Staten Island Rapid Transit, New Jersey Transit, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Connecticut Department of Transportation, New York City Department of Transportation, and Staten Island Ferry, along with many other services supported by Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties and the City of Long Beach and Town of Huntington, all provide such options. There are many private bus and ferry operators, including New York Waterways, Command Bus Lines in Brooklyn, New York Bus and Liberty Lines Express in the Bronx, along with Green Bus Lines, Jamaica Buses of Queens, Queens Surface and Triboro Coach in Queens and many smaller suburban operators.
